Oh and I still need to send my Akront wheels out to get drilled and build the wheels with new stainless spokes. But that might wait for another day. I think I want a running bike before I worry about the wheels.

And I think the forks will need a little more TLC before Im done. They work and go up and down. But arnt quite right. For one they leak. Wrong seal on the bottom drain bolt. Gotta get some new ones ordered. I lowered the forks about 2-1/2" and that put a lot of preload on the springs. THey are a tad stiff. Not to mention that the springs are pitted and rusty. Might have to get some new springs as I imagine mine are sacked out.

It will be next week before I can get it welded and make the rear supports.

are those mounts slotted for adjustment??? if the upper and lower aren't parallel to each other you won't be able to adjust it.

there's a Triumph build in here if you're interestedhttp://www.markvanderkwaak.com/
i couldn't link the actual build because it's embedded in the main site. it's not hard to find. he's got some renderings of the bike and the actual build going on. he'd be interested in your project too. send him some pics when you'r done.

That marks the end of the fabrication. No more welding needs to be done. Its finished. Just needs to oil lines, control cables, wire it and see if it will run then tear it all down, sandblast it and re-assemble.

Plus a lot of other things I know I have forgot

VERY nice. Oh yea, don't forget that little step between sandblasting and reassembly where you apply a durable, protective, anti-corrosion colored coating to the frame.
